Chartered Accountancy For Growth
Leveraging Big Four foundations and NZX-listed CFO leadership, we combine audit-grade financial rigour with strategic insight to drive your company's exponential, compliant growth in both local and international markets.
A CFO-level financial engine, on demand.
Howard's accountancy practice combines CA ANZ credentials, a Doctor of Business Administration, a KPMG audit foundation, and a decade of listed-company CFO experience — covering cross-border M&A, NZX reporting, and tax-efficient corporate structures.
Cross-Border Tax & Structuring
Tax-efficient holding structures, double-tax treaty optimisation, residency analysis, and pre-investment planning.
Listed-Company Financial Reporting
NZ IFRS reporting, bilingual board packs, and reporting infrastructure suitable for offshore parent companies and NZX disclosure.
Audit Readiness & Transition
Pre-audit reviews, internal controls uplift, and auditor transitions — recent example: leading the transition to Grant Thornton for a listed entity.
M&A and Capital Operations
Cross-border M&A, corporate restructuring, and capital operations — including two successful NZX listings.
Partnerships built on clarity.
Cross-border investments are invariably entangled with complex fiscal barriers, double taxation risks, and stringent local compliance audits. For expanding enterprises, a lack of professional financial planning inevitably translates into prohibitive hidden costs.
As a Chartered Accountant (CA), I provide institutional-grade financial and fiscal support. Our services encompass cross-border tax optimisation, robust localised financial governance, and meticulous financial due diligence and deal structuring for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in New Zealand. We safeguard your overseas assets and capital flows with the rigorous standards of Big Four accounting firms.
For enterprises that have transitioned past the initial survival phase, establishing deep roots in New Zealand's mainstream business ecosystem and leveraging local capital markets for multidimensional valuation growth remain long-term strategic challenges.
Drawing on a rare track record as a Board Director and CFO for multiple New Zealand-listed companies, alongside the Canton Chamber of Commerce's extensive network, we guide enterprises through the NZX listing journey. From pre-IPO structuring and corporate governance alignment to bridging connections with mainstream local capital and business circles, we empower your business to seamlessly integrate into Western capital markets and achieve global strategic scale.
